Los Angeles
-
Country stars Hunter Hayes and Taylor Swift triumph at this year's Teen Choice Awards and sweep the country music categories.

Hayes bested such country heavyweight names as Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Keith Urban and label-mate Blake Shelton, and was named "Choice Male Country Artist."

He topped the Billboard country charts with his latest studio album Storyline, released on Atlantic Nashville, and he has a new single out "Tattoo," which is upbeat and high-energy.

A 22-year-old country star, Hunter set a Guinness World record for playing 10 concerts in the span of a 24-hour time period, while simultaneously partnering up with ConAgra Foods, in an effort to put an end to child hunger as part of his "24 Hour Road Race."

Congratulations to Hayes and Swift on their latest Teen Choice award wins.
